** Out of print

This World Soil Resources Report outlines a strategic framework approach for evaluating sustainable land management. The framework is designed as a pathway to guide analysis of land use sustainability: it comprises a series of scientifically sound logical steps connecting all aspects of the land use - environmental, economic and social - which collectively determine whether that form of land management is sustainable or will lead to sustainability.
